I snapped this at the lincoln park zoo back in Sept.

Once one bit my Thumb!
Is this an idyllic New England Horsey-Scene or a photo representation of pure evil? I'm not really sure. These horses live up the street in Burgy. When I was younger I would walk up to one of the farms with my parents and feed them carrots. But once one of them bit me and since then I've had something of a phobia about getting too close to their mouths.
Lamb Chop's Ugly Cousin
A lamb should be judged by its character, not just its looks. I'm back in Austin from Chicago so here is a picture of a really "unique" looking lamb from the Austin Zoo. Traditionally, petting zoos feature super cute animals for the children to interact with, the Austin Zoo (or "Auz" as I like to call it) takes a more expansive approach. Many of the children fled from the twisted visage of this unfortunate lamb-soul. But I fed it, careful not to cut myself on its razor sharp horns, to ensure that it would remain as a reminder that there is room for all kinds in the world of lambs.
Road Head
Due to a series of circumstances outside of my control I was unable to post an animal picture for you on Saturday. This was partly due to two separate computer malfunctions and partly because I was in a car for 12 hours on my way to Chicago. The silver lining is that I got some cool pics of these traveling horsies a little North of Peoria. One of them is MAKING A FACE AT ME!
Creature Comforts Goes VIDEO!
Wow! It sure was awesome seeing Ron at the Austin Zoo this weekend! As you can tell I'm experimenting with a new format which includes some video webcasts. Do drop a line and let me know what you think. I'm thinking the video lets me show better how some animals move, (or in some cases, don't move). In other news, I've decided I might not offer a single species series again for a while. I felt a little O.D.ed on spiders by the end of last week. Fortunately, my excursion to the zoo allowed me to make tons of new friends and stock up on many more ANIMAL PICS! So, how do we look on film?
